THE Duchess of Cambridge glammed up for her first official night out of the year after reports she is undergoing a makeover to look more regal.

DAZZLING Kate showed last night that when it comes to looking regal she and the Queen might just be neck and neck.

The Duchess of Cambridge drew gasps as she showed off a priceless diamond necklace borrowed from the Queen.

The glittering piece of jewellery was a wedding present in 1947 from a king in India, Nizam of Hyderabad.

Kate, 32, glammed up for her first official night out of the year after reports she is undergoing a makeover to look more regal.

She made a short speech at the fundraising gala at the National Portrait Gallery in London, where she is a patron.

And
despite the gallery’s famed paintings – and a host of celebs attending,
including actress Liz Hurley, rock star Bryan Adams and Scottish Olympic rowing hero Katherine Grainger – all eyes were on Kate and her necklace.

The choice of jewellery was a far cry from her last public appearance in December, when she wore a £19.99 necklace from high-street chain Zara.
